This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Check engine light turned on took it in for code results bad firing on plug 7. replaced still engine running rough and light is still on. After research it seems that the throttle position sensor seems to go bad on these vehicles" of course it is out of warranty, makes me wonder if this should be a recall"
The dash developed minor cracks initially and has since cracked completely on each side of the passenger compartment. I am concerned these sharp plastic pieces could become airborne during rough road conditions or crash impact leading to shrapnel like situations.
I am the second owner of a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban for the past 3.5 years. There was a small crack that started on the driver side dashboard which is now a long crack since it continues to grow. There is also a crack on the passenger side above the airbag. These cracks were not created by contact with another object, accident, items laid on top of the dash, or vandalism. I fear that if airbags are deployed, the dash will break apart and pieces of plastic will be projected towards the passengers causing great bodily harm or death.
Dashboard cracked on passenger side at top left corner of airbag as well as on the drivers side behind the instrumentation panel. Cracked appears over time, at 48,000 miles and 62,000 miles, GM said they would pro - rate the cost that I would have to pay but after 100,000 miles the repair would be on me totally.
As with many Suburban 2007 and older, I have two cracks on my dashboard - one by the passenger side airbag, the other above the instrument panel. I believe this isssue is very wide spread. Can anything be done? clearly its a manufacturer defect.
The dash is cracking in several places and most severely at the corner of the airbag on the passenger side. Crack is also large over the speedometer cluster. Car has been garaged mostly. Car currently has 188,00 miles but cracks started appearing about 60,000 miles.
Dashboard of 2008 Chevrolet Suburban cracked in 2 places, including around passenger side airbag and above drivers side instrument cluster/steering wheel. Concerned for the proper deployment of the airbag during potential crash due to the cracked dash that surrounds the airbag. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed. Hundreds if not thousands of other similar vehicles possess the same manufacturing defect in the dashboard and all have reported large cracks in the exact same area.
The plastic jack wing nut that holds the jack stored securley in the interior wheel well twisted off the first time it was used. The jack was therefor unacessible for use. The lug wrench twisted apart when it was used to attempt to loosen the lug nuts. The metal in the lug wrench was very soft.
"takata inflators" and dashboard cracks. I have multiple cracks in the dashboard of my 2008 Chevrolet Suburban which GM is fully aware of, and avoids the topic with every call placed with the Chevrolet customer assistance center. Now there is the potential for the airbag inflators to rupture along with fragmented dashboard parts in the event of a crash. The primary crack(s) are located right at the passenger airbag location. I cannot emphasize enough about the safety concerns I have and the lack of attention that GM has given regarding the cracks and now the airbags.
